He, his family, friends, and workers could be found on Thanksgiving Days for many years cooking, serving, and delivering more than 700 dinners to the sick and shut- ins.
After his 3rd retirement, he spent his time enjoying his family, friends, and gardening and fishing with his grandsons.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Clarence and Myrtle Scofield; his brother, De Elmer, and sister, Yvonne.
He is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Martha Thompson Scofield; a son, Scott Scofield; a daughter, Stacey Scofield and her husband Craig Fredericks, and two grandsons, Justin and Matt Fredericks, all of Gulfport.
